Went to this not expecting too much but maybe expecting more than I found. It is a big park, nice for picnics, with two mounds. One is large wooden steps and the other not too high. Picnic tables available. trails available. Take bug spray with you.

It is a place well worth the time. Lived in area for years and did not know it was there. Also went to many other state parks in and around n.Fl.

There are many Mound Builder cultural sites along the Mississippi River into Ohio, but Florida has several ancient sites near Tallahassee, it capital city.

This is a nice but rather small State Park. The hiking path is very scenic but short...about 20 minutes and can get very muddy. The mounds are just that....hills.

I think more history on the mounds should be provided but it's something to see and the trail is nice too. Also the wide open grassy area to play.

This park is nice if you want to play a game of Frisbee or your kids love a big place to run free. The mounds are pretty neat, especially knowing the way they were made. Other than that, it is pretty much just an open field.
